recensiekoning.nl is one of my favorite websites of the last few years. They review everything. Not as in “every book, CDs, play or movie,” but as in everything. Days, the quality of tap water, the pavement on 22nd Avenue, medicine, a dream, that chick you made out with last night. Everything.

Unsurprisingly, their brand of reviews struck a chord with a lot of people, so a book was inevitable. Recensiekoning recenseert Nederland was released in 2012, and contains a few classic oldies (like the magnificent Briefje in de Jordaan) and an onslaught of new reviews, all somehow related to The Netherlands.

Recensiekoning recenseert Nederland gets four stars, plus one star for coming to my home, delivering and signing my review copy in person, but a one star penalty for not bringing the beer they promised. As if it’s my fault that parking in the center of Amersfoort is a nightmare. ★★★★☆
